Sexuality
Why is sexuality so powerful? Intimacy is a celebration of vulnerability; it touches the softest part in each person, the most private and fragile part of a human being.
Most of us desire true intimacy, but we are afraid to experience true vulnerability, to lose control. But this makes it difficult to ever experience true intimacy, for being comfortable with your vulnerability is the ultimate intimacy. The question is: How can we really let go? We can be distracted and misled by the physical aspects of intimacy, pursuing it only to satisfy our selfish needs. Or we can understand sexuality and intimacy as the truly meaningful forces that they are.
